her soul was a perpetual re-echo of the
Psalmist's declaration, when proclaiming
the blessedness of Zion "All my springs

grace which had given such sweetness to
her character during her long life, gave TO
her sick chamber the same sweet and at

the delightful aroma of deyout and pure
spirit in her room, that made it pleasant to
be there. She suffered much, but she
praised more. There was no aifectation of
piety or submission. Her religion was as
simple as the artless simplicity Of a sweet

LTFE,S JOURNEY COMPARED
WITH A RAILROAD.

As we hasten out of youths SNOWY station
The track seems to verge To the right,
Eat it sweeps Unexpectedly over chasms
Or rushes into tunnels of night.
And the hearts that were bold in the morn
ing
Are flied with complaining and fears,
As they stop at the station of sorrow
Or journey through the Valley of Tears.
But the track on this dangerous route
The hand of Omnipotent has made;
Though 1t pass over chasms of danger,
We need not be sad or afraid,
Tracks leading from light into gloom,
Switches branching from Hope to De-
spair,
Wind through the tunnels of midnight.
Into fields that are blooming and fair.
Tho the shadow of Death may surround US
Tho we see not CLEAN of the day.
Above us, white-robed Angels are singing
Always, eternally-their Heavenly lay.
Tho fearful, set onward, right onward
The track leads over the hills in the
West,
There, stands the Grand Station of Rest.
There is the Grand Station OF all railroads,
All roads centre there where they meet !;
IT'S the last resort offriends or of foes;
All rival companies meet there and
greet
All time schedules, tickets and passes,
Whether bought, begged for or not,
On whichever ronte or division
Will bring you at last to the spot.
If you stop at the Junction of Trouble.
Or wait on the siding of Fear,
Be calm, the train will go onward,
And pass down the track of the year.
Whatever place your tickets calls for,
Whatever you seek for, or request,
You shall find it with gladness
In the Heavenly Station of Rest.
There you shall lay down all your trouble,
And be perfectly at peace in that realm,
You shall sail with old friends on calm
waters,
With "soldiers of the Cross" at the
helm.
You shall wander in cool. fragrant bowers
With those that have loved you the best,
And the hopes which were lost in LIES
passage
Shall be restored to you, in the City of

Money to be Made.

1t is said that dull times are not
known BY the agents for the great
publishing house of George Stinson
Il Co., Of Portland, Maine. The rea-
son of this exceptional success is
found in the fact that they always
give the public that which is keenly
appreciated ard at prices that all
can afford. At present we under
stand, their agents are doing well
on several new lines They need
many more agents in ali parts of the
country. Those who need profitable
work should apply at once. Women
do as we'll as men. Experience is
not necessary, for Messrs. Stinson
Il Co. undertake to show all who
are willing to work. not hard but
earnestly, the path to large success.
1t should be remembered that an
agent can do handsome bushes ,
without being away from home
over night. Another adyantage-it
costs nothing to give the business
a trial, and an agent can devote ali
his time or only his spare moments to
it. Stinson & Co. guarantee grand
success to all who engage and follow
simple and plain directions that they
give. We have not space to explain
all here, but full particulars will be
sent free to those who address the
firm; their full address is given
above.
